Observations from Coach Heupel’s media session today. - Character matters to him. Words such as “consistency” and “discipline” are like a mantra. - He is teaching these young men more than football. He is teaching them the attributes of someone who is successful in life- Accountability...

2 seats in W $3500

Yes I did! First time ever. I’m way too excited about it.

Yes!! Great mentor for Merk.

Just read the article, which was actually pretty interesting. The attendance numbers included total attendance but factored in percent capacity over the last 3 seasons, which is what dropped the Vols in the rankings. As a fan who lives in Southern California, the rankings comport well with...

As an employer, I have a saying. Somebody who will leave over money will eventually leave over money. I pay well, but they will eventually find someone who pays more. If a player’s main goal is to get paid as much as possible, and he doesn’t value the education, culture, and team, they are As...

Tennessee fans are EVERYWHERE. I live in California, and every time I wear a UT hat or shirt I can count on hearing “Go Vols!” This includes the Rose Bowl game this past week. I was one of several knuckleheads who thought it was a good idea to buy Rose Bowl tickets before the OSU game. (We paid...

Our roster is nearly full already thanks to a big incoming freshman class. That, plus scholarships lost to the Pruitt scandal, leaves us with room for less than a handful of players. To add any more than that, we would need to lose a few more players. Looking at the roster, I see us pursuing...

Bingo. Jalin Hyatt proved you can be special in this offense if you have speed. When we matched up against upper echelon teams, only Donte had enough speed to get open, and then inconsistently. If you want to score against the likes of OSU, you need elite speed and a dominant line. We had...

I actually emailed Adam Sparks (Knox News) halfway through the season and asked him if the Vols could use Boo on offense. If he wants to go the Travis Hunter route, why not let him? His punt returns make it clear he can be electric with the ball in his hands. This is such a no brainer. If we...

Looking at the NIL estimates for the top ranked players in the portal, it could take millions of dollars for us to get the talent we need to compete with the likes of Ohio State. Do we have the resources? I know it’s the holidays, but we haven’t heard of any new potential players since Moe...

Put two Pennie’s in the gum ball machine and…

My university did not have a football team, and I adopted the VOLS after buying a vacation cabin in Sevierville in 2019. God smiled on me in 2022. My wife and I went to the Ball State game, and by half time I was having so much fun I put in a request for season seats. Imagine my surprise when I...

I’ve seen enough 4 star busts and 5 star transfers to say that being in the same ball park with Bama and Georgia ain’t so bad. If we stay healthy we’ll be fine.
